Description

Investor's Special with Endless Potential! This charming single-story home is a fantastic opportunity for investors or buyers looking to personalize this cosmetic fixer. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, this property shares a lot line with only one neighbor and features views from the backyard that overlooks a commercial nursery. This was built as a 4-bedroom, but one bedroom was converted into an office after the closet space was repurposed to enlarge the hall bathroom. Newer updates to the home include newer windows (2011), newer LVP floors in the living and dining rooms (2019) and newer furnace, while the roof was replaced in 2005. Laundry hook-ups are in the garage. Bancroft Elementary school is just a short walk around the corner.
8976 Rover St, Spring Valley, CA 91977 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,196 sqft single-family home built in 1966. It last sold for $590,000 on Aug 25, 2025 (3% above the $575,000 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $598,000, with a rent estimate of $3,526/month.
